What Mantu does at bydigital
Mantu Kumar started bydigital to answer everyday GST questions without accounting software: adding or removing GST, splitting CGST, SGST and IGST, estimating a late fee, pricing a product with margin and tax, and producing a clean invoice or quotation in a minute. He chooses which tools to build, writes the code and the guides, and is responsible for every number the site shows.
He also builds other free browser-based tools, including TradeProfy (trading cost calculators), QuickCVLab (CV builder) and LyfPDF (PDF tools), on the same principles: no sign-up, nothing uploaded, and an honest explanation of each result.
How he checks a GST tool
- Start from the rule. Rates come from GST Council decisions as notified by CBIC; late fees from Section 47 of the CGST Act and the capping notifications; interest from Section 50; the GSTIN check digit from the published algorithm.
- Work examples by hand. Every tool is tested with cases worked out manually, including edge cases such as nil returns, custom rates and inter-state supplies.
- Say what the tool cannot do. Each page states its limits: a GSTIN check proves the format, not live registration; a late-fee estimate does not include waivers announced later.
- Review after changes. When the GST Council changes a rate or a cap, the tools, guides and examples are updated together and the review date changes.
What he does not claim
Mantu is not a chartered accountant, tax practitioner or lawyer, and bydigital does not present him as one. The tools give estimates and templates. For filing decisions, notices or classification, consult a CA or the official portal.
